Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has asked his party to prepare for a street movement, declaring that the fight is necessary to safeguard the country’s freedom.
Speaking to journalists at Adiala Jail on Thursday, he said, “Our movement is a jihad for democracy. I call on the entire nation to take to the streets to save our freedom.”
Imran accused Special Judge Humayun Dilawar of being behind his and his wife Bushra Bibi’s imprisonment. “Humayun Dilawar was gifted land worth billions in return for his decisions against us. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Anti-Corruption department holds all the evidence, but now the FIA has filed a case against them.”
He also criticised Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, alleging that Naqvi was rewarded with key positions including interior ministry and PCB chairmanship for his role in the government’s crackdown on PTI. “Naqvi committed the worst atrocities against us, including the brutal killing of Zille Shah by the police.
His body was dumped on the road, and an FIR was lodged against me,” Khan said.
He further condemned Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, accusing him of protecting those responsible for PTI’s oppression. “Justice Isa stripped us of our electoral symbol and refused to hear our petitions on human rights violations.”
He concluded by announcing that PTI’s street protest plans will be revealed soon, while also highlighting ongoing injustices, including the abduction of Saadullah Baloch’s wife and daughter. “They have entered the assemblies and arrested parliamentarians. This has never happened before, and my wife’s imprisonment is also illegal.”
